Despite Nottingham Forest selling multiple players around June 30th to align with PSR rules, the East Midlands side are reluctantly willing to accept bids of £30 million for winger, Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Tottenham have interest in signing the former Chelsea star
Callum Hudson-Odoi was once the subject of a £70 million loan with an option to buy bid from German giants, Bayern Munich, in 2020 (The Guardian). A little under three years later and Nottingham Forest purchased the winger for just £3 million. (TransferMarkt)
An impressive Premier League season with Forest, netting eight times and assisting once in twenty-eight appearances, has seen Hudson-Odoi return to the radar of some big clubs, one of which being Tottenham. (TransferMarkt)
Football Insider revealed in May that Hudson-Odoi was a player that Spurs were interested in due to Postecoglou desiring a new, young winger for his team with Hudson-Odoi being a player that he and the club believe still has ‘huge’ potential.
Forest have named their price for Hudson-Odoi
Football Insider’s initial report claimed Spurs were investigating a deal for Hudson-Odoi due to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side being under pressure to align with PSR’s rules by June 30th, however, even though the deadline has passed Tottenham are reportedly still tracking the winger’s situation.

Forest raised their funds before June 30th through the sales of Orel Mangala and Moussa Niakhate, and the club no longer feels forced to sell key players such as Hudson-Odoi.
The reported price that the club will now be demanding for the Chelsea youth academy product is around £30 million due to the player also having two years remaining on his deal at the City Ground and being happy to continue playing under former Spurs manager, Nuno.
Spurs Web Opinion
Hudson-Odoi wields an incredible level of talent, and although he didn’t get to fully display it at Chelsea due to injuries and a lack of playing time, Nottingham Forest has seemingly reinvigorated the 23-year-old’s career.
A price of £30 million does seem a lot for a player who joined Forest for only £3 million last summer but when you factor in that Hudson-Odoi is homegrown, young and now proven to score and perform in the Premier League, it could be seen as a decent deal, although it remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to get it done.
